HAVANT BOROUGH COUNCIL

PROPOSED PRICES 2013/2014

GENERAL NOTES

1)  The Council’s policy for the review of prices is set out in the Medium Term Financial Strategy.

2)  All prices include VAT where applicable. The appropriate rate of VAT is per the list below.

N – Non business X – Exempt Z – Zero rated V – Standard rate of 20.0% (from 04/01/11)

3)  The prices for each year shown will be effective from 1st April unless otherwise stated.

4)  Any small scale rounding of figures to assist in the administration of collecting fees will be prepared by the officers as required.

5)  Concessions - where concessionary prices are applicable these are detailed on the relevant pages. For the purpose of applying concessions, a senior citizen is a person eligible for concessionary travel.

6)  In appropriate circumstances an administrative fee will be made to refund a payment made for a service where, for no fault of the Council, the service is no longer required.

VAT. LICENCES TO OCCUPY LAND; LETTING OF SPORTS FACILITIES

Exemption from VAT may be applicable under the following circumstances:

A.  Single lets

Each single let is for a continuous period of over 24 hours to the same person, the person to whom they are let having exclusive control of the facilities throughout the let.

OR

B. Series of lets

All of the following criteria must be satisfied before exemption can apply:

Ø  the series consists of 10 or more individual sessions of the same sport or activity, each session being in the same place; and

Ø  the interval between each session is at least a day and not more than 14 days; and

Ø  the series is to be paid for as a whole, and there is clear evidence of this, whether or not the right to use the facility for any specific session is actually exercised, a formal agreement, exchange of letters, or an invoice issued in advance requiring payment for the sessions specified on the invoice would be sufficient evidence. Refund for the non-availability of the facility by the Council would not invalidate this condition but provision for a refund in other circumstances would; and

Ø  the facilities are let out to a school, club, association or organisation representing affiliated clubs or constituent associations; and

Ø  the person to whom the facilities are let has exclusive use of them during the sessions.

Ø  It is not necessary to book the same pitch to qualify for exemption, provided it is within the same recreation ground. Any further bookings in addition to those specified in the formal agreement will be standard-rated and subject to VAT.

VAT on Organised School Visits

The letting of facilities to a local education authority school falls within these rules of exemption and is not outside the scope of VAT under the provisions of the Local Authorities (Goods and Services) Act 1970.
